A public fan zone for American YouTuber MrBeast, whose main channel has around 520 million subscribers, opened near the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Tashkent earlier Friday.
The area has been fitted with barriers and banners featuring the creator’s branding, while police officers have been deployed nearby. Entry to the fan zone is free, with visitors expected to gather from 3 p.m., according to Kursiv Uzbekistan.
Meanwhile, a small truck has appeared near the square, carrying a large white box marked with a black question mark. Footage circulating on social media shows MrBeast and members of his team beside the vehicle, prompting speculation about what might be inside.
Neither the contents of the box nor its possible role in the event have been disclosed.
Traffic restrictions have also been introduced around Amir Temur Square to accommodate the gathering. Motorists have been advised to consider alternative routes through central Tashkent.
What happened to MrBeast’s Lamborghini?
Another mystery surrounding the visit is a red Lamborghini that MrBeast’s production crew brought to Uzbekistan.
Local social media reports claim that scratches and other damage have appeared on the vehicle’s doors and bodywork. Some posts suggest the car could have been damaged during unloading or transportation.
The Lamborghini had already attracted attention before MrBeast’s arrival, with fans speculating that it could be among the prizes offered during his Tashkent appearance.
Who can meet MrBeast in Tashkent?
Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, arrived at Tashkent International Airport earlier on Friday, greeting supporters and posing for photographs.
His visit was organised by Uzbekistan’s Art and Culture Development Foundation in cooperation with the Tourism Committee.
The programme included interactive games, quizzes and prizes. Registration closed on October 8, and selected participants were to receive personal QR codes and event details directly from the organisers.
The YouTuber’s production team arrived several days before him and has been spotted filming at various locations across Tashkent.
